    Churning
    A churn is very useful. People use it to churn milk. We have a very large churn at home. It is about four and a half feet high. It is a round churn. There is a stand under it. The stand under it is made square. We churn twice in the week in summer and only once in the week in winter. There is a lid for the churn.
